Seared Salmon and Lemon Butter Pasta

Salmon's one of those meals I can throw together quickly. And it's one I often fall back on when making seafood. Pasta's also a favorite around here. We like carbs. Lots of them! Plus, compound butter's a great way to easily fancy up a meal. No need to let everyone know how easy it is to make!

So instead of doing the usual and keeping salmon, pasta, and compound butter in separate recipes, I thought - why not combine the power of all three? When their powers combine, you get a scrumptious seared salmon and lemon herb whipped butter pasta!

Methods:

1. Gather all materials.

2. Make compound butter by combining butter, lemon, mint, garlic, and parsley. To make whipped compound butter, simply whip the butter to combine materials instead of just stirring together. Or use a pre-made compound butter.

3. Cook pasta following package instructions.

4. Cook salmon in a bit of oil for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned.

5. Drain pasta and toss with almonds, Parmesan cheese, spinach, and part of lemon herb whipped butter. Top with salmon (and another bit of whipped butter if you'd like). :)
